This week’s Pop Culture Thursday is all about, who else? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! Jared, aka the JTrain, is sifting through every Page Six headline and serving up his signature mix of eye rolls, laughs, and oddly specific analogies (salsa discourse included). From private-but-not-really-private wedding rumors to engagement ring drama that’s allegedly “designed” by Travis, Jared calls out the hype while still giving the Swifties their due. Along the way, he plugs his Patreon, shames you into buying comedy tickets early, and reminds everyone that pop culture is a business, baby. Light, funny, and just a little noodge-y, this is your weekly dose of riffs, rants, and reality checks.

This week on The JTrain Podcast, Jared is joined by comedian Dan Soder for a classic Chit Chat Wednesday. They kick things off with laughs about body types, ranch dressing, and upcoming shows before diving into a wide-ranging conversation. Dan shares his fitness routine, stories from life on the road, and why he prefers hanging out with eager new comics over bitter old ones in the green room. The two swap food favorites, reminisce about their college days, and debate tipping etiquette for green room staff. They also get into comedy shop talk, from opener etiquette and overlapping material to how comedians should treat their audiences. To top it off, they imagine a hilarious comedy Supreme Court made up of the most influential comics. It is a fun, unfiltered hang between two sharp comics you will not want to miss!

Jared is back with another Ticked Off Tuesday, diving headfirst into life’s little annoyances like why bacon still isn’t packaged with a zip-top, gyms doubling as water bottle obstacle courses, and grocery store shoppers who treat the aisles like a family reunion. Along the way, he shares his undying love for Trader Joe’s peanut butter pretzel nuggets, vents about YouTube frustrations, and previews his upcoming tour stops. Listeners write in with their own hilarious complaints, from restaurants overloading delivery bags with cutlery to streaming services that make binge-watching way harder than it should be. It’s classic JTrain: funny, relatable, and just the right amount of petty!

Jared is back on the mic for another Mailbag Monday, bringing laughs straight from sunny Delray Beach. He recaps a dream weekend of shows in Denver, previews sold-out stops in Providence and Boston, and drops fresh tour dates all over the map. He delves into classic listener emails, covering the tricky world of post-breakup dating and even how to make new parent friends without it feeling like a suburban swingers' invitation. His advice is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, reminding listeners to set boundaries, keep things fun, and maybe plan a barbecue with cookies as the hook. As always, he signs off with plenty of plugs and just the right dose of feather-light wisdom.

In this week’s Pop Culture Thursday, Jared dives right into a mix of pop culture headlines, from Julia Fox’s confusing sexuality “clarification” to the oddly awkward obituary of TikTok star John Crawley, better known as “King Beard X.” He jokes about how embarrassing it would be if his own comedy nicknames showed up in his obituary. Things get wilder with a Hamptons story of a woman in her 50s allegedly biting a six-year-old during a t-shirt gun brawl—something Jared insists should mean jail time. He pokes fun at a headline calling Austin Butler “fearless” for shooing away a bee near Zoë Kravitz, and rolls his eyes at Jay Cutler airing divorce grievances online. To wrap it up, Jared defends the Coldplay kiss cam, insisting we can’t let cheaters ruin a fun tradition. It’s goofy, ranty, and oddly heartfelt all at once.

On this episode of the JTrain Podcast, Jared welcomes comedian Michael Yo for a fun and wide-ranging chat. They laugh about Jared’s Golden Bachelor cameo, Michael’s time at E! News during the height of the Kardashian era, and how Kris Jenner helped launch him into reality TV. Michael also shares how Chelsea Lately jump-started his comedy career and previews his new A&E series 1000 Ways to Dine, highlighting unforgettable food adventures from underwater dining to intimate meals in Italian homes.

It’s another Ticked Off Tuesday, and Jared is back to duet your complaints with gusto! First up, his mom somehow turned “I went to bed early” into a dire medical emergency; nothing like parental concern to turn rest into a diagnosis. We’ve got a listener fed up with t-shirt cannon “performers” who think they’re auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance instead of, you know, actually launching shirts. Another transplant from NYC to Atlanta is shocked to find the real summer villain isn’t the humidity, it’s indoor workplaces kept at a balmy 81 degrees. Plus, someone’s blocking a one-way street with hazards on despite a sea of open parking spots, and Jared’s not having it. All that, a few tangents, and the sweet release of shared pettiness.

It's Mailbag Monday, and Jared is diving into your dating dilemmas with the precision of a gossip surgeon. First up, a listener had a promising Hinge date lined up, until she sent the “we should probably cancel” text upon realizing he’s a recent ex of her friend. Did the ex wave her off, or is this just modern dating’s efficiency mode kicking in? Then, a post-volleyball romance that’s stuck in the Thursday-night-after-the-game loop, with zero movement toward a real plan. Jared breaks down why “make a plan and I’m in” should be your new mantra, and why vague dating purgatory is the enemy of progress. Plus, a few tangents, some travel gripes, and the occasional unsolicited Woody Allen quote!

It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared is dishing a headline buffet straight from Page Six. He dives into the Taylor Swift multiverse — from her “announcement of an announcement” album drop to Marvel-movie-level Easter eggs that keep superfans in overdrive. Jared riffs on Swift’s internet tribalism, the romantic economics of dating her (hi, Travis Kelce), and even a snake-related bathroom demolition courtesy of Zoe Kravitz. Along the way, he skewers wild fan theories, Martha Stewart’s Real Housewives shade, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s so-called “mortified” pat-down. Add in Dua Lipa birthday buzz, a Vanity Fair shake-up, and one eyebrow-raising Kelly Clarkson ex subplot, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts gossip, comedy, and “did he just say that?”
